Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 3 discussion

Review is only under Premier. Stop giving the wrong answers. Premier is stil available but only for companies with enterprise agreement. Professional DIrect offers only :Guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers". Guidance is not a design review.

"while keeping expenses to a minimum". That is the point. So a std plan would suffice.

I thin the answer is no

Assessment of an Azure environment's design FROM MICROSOFT. Professional direct includes "Guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers", to get assessment from microsoft you would need to contract unified enterprise since "As-needed advisory support included", I am unsure about if the advisory support is given by Microsoft.

Explanation: The Basic support plan in Azure does not include access to architecture guidance or environment assessments by Microsoft engineers. To get architecture assessments and design reviews from Microsoft, the company would need a higher-tier support plan. The Professional Direct support plan does include: Proactive guidance from Microsoft engineers Architecture reviews Onboarding services Faster response times It's more cost-effective than the Premier support plan, which is the highest tier and most expensive. Therefore, recommending the Professional Direct support plan does meet the goal of getting environment design assessments while keeping costs lower than Premier. ✅ Answer: A. Yes

The RIght answer is B, The solution does not meet the goal. The Professional Direct support plan does allow for assessments, but if the goal is to keep expenses to a minimum, the company might want to consider the Premier support plan instead, which is designed for more comprehensive support needs. The Basic support plan does not cover the requested assessment, and while Professional Direct is a step up, it may not be the most cost-effective option if the company is looking for the least expensive solution that still meets their needs.

A should be the correct answer only , only Professional Direct plan supports

Basic support plan does not provide access to architectural or design assessments. To enable this functionality while keeping expenses to a minimum, I recommend upgrading to the Professional Direct (ProDirect) support plan. The Professional Direct plan offers: 24/7 technical support with faster response times Access to Microsoft experts for architecture and design reviews Proactive guidance to optimize our Azure environment This plan is the most cost-effective option that includes the assessment services we require.

B. he Basic support plan only covers billing and subscription support, Azure documentation, and community forums. It does not provide technical support, architecture reviews, or design assessments.

"A" - According also to Chat GPT: "Professional Direct = correct choice for design assessment. The Basic support plan only covers billing and subscription support, Azure documentation, and community forums. It does not provide technical support, architecture reviews, or design assessments. Professional Direct (ProDirect) does include: - Architecture guidance from Microsoft engineers. - Design and configuration reviews. - Consultative support for onboarding and ongoing use."

Yes, the solution meets the goal. The Professional Direct support plan includes access to architecture support, which provides guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers

The type of support that typically provides architectural reviews or design assessments or tailored design engagement or assessments is the Premier or Unified support plan.

Heres what deepseek and chatgpt said: Real-world perspective: $1,000/month is not "low-cost." Exam perspective: "Minimum cost" means "least expensive option that satisfies all requirements." Since no cheaper plans offer design reviews, Professional Direct is the "minimum" by default.

The recommendation to subscribe to the Professional Direct support plan does not meet the goal of keeping expenses to a minimum while allowing for an assessment of the Azure environment's design. While the Professional Direct support plan does provide access to design assessments and other advanced support features, it is one of the more expensive options available. A more cost-effective solution would be to consider the Developer support plan, which, while offering limited access to technical support, may still provide some level of guidance and resources for design assessments at a lower cost. Alternatively, the company could explore the Standard support plan, which offers a balance between cost and support features, including access to design assessments. Therefore, while the Professional Direct plan meets the requirement for design assessment, it may not align with the goal of minimizing expenses.

A is the one. I believe that "an assessment of an Azure environment's design from Microsoft" falls under **OPERATIONS SUPPORT**, and this service is only available through the **PROFESSIONAL DIRECT** plan. Services requiring Microsoft review and assessment might also be categorized as **Guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers**, but this also requires the **PROFESSIONAL DIRECT** plan.
